The Bolshoi Ballet’s artistic director Sergei Filin disclosed at the weekend
that he knows the identity of the assailant who threw sulphuric acid in his
face, an attack that has left him fighting to save his eyesight and has
thrust the dance world into turmoil.

The director, who is due to be flown to the Aachen University medical clinic
for further treatment, said that he was not going to name names until the
investigators were ready to make an announcement. So far no one, inside or
outside the Bolshoi company, has been arrested.
